Job Description

Building relationships, community, and especially the bond between people and their dogs. Teach Puppy, basic and intermediate obedience classes. More classes/types of classes TBD.

We are expanding our team and looking for a part-time (20-30 hrs/wk) experienced Dog Trainer. The ideal candidate will be outgoing, creative, and energetic, with the presence to take charge of a room of nervous dog owners. People skills are just as important as dog training at Pet Supplies Plus.

  • Create a training curriculum with your knowledge and experience.
  • Ensure canine and human safety in the facility.
  • Build relationships with neighbors to add value and encourage retention.
  • Consult with neighbors between classes, getting to know them and their dog(s) to make appropriate recommendations.
  • Conduct Evaluations for client prospects with the goal of them purchasing a class.
  • Maintain a friendly, positive, non-judgmental attitude. Pet Supplies Plus strives to be a “embarrassment-free zone.”
  • Assist neighbors in fitting harnesses and educate neighbors on training tools and applications.
  • Keep a tidy and clean training area in our large community room.
  • Attend marketing events to grow the business.
  • Participate in posting on social media to share the good news about our offerings for neighbors.
  • Assist in store tasks as requested during down time from training.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Dog training experience. We are open to various backgrounds and experience levels, but you should have a good working knowledge of dog-related topics and the ability to communicate effectively with clients.
  • A passion for relationship building training methods.
  • A true comprehension of operant conditioning.
  • Energy and enthusiasm. Ability to maintain a high level of engagement class after class.
  • An open, friendly, and helpful attitude with neighbors and team members.
  • A track record of reliability.
  • Comfortable working with technology, including our POS system and social media.
  • Able to lift 30 pounds.
  • High school diploma or GED.
  • Willing to submit to a background check.

Benefits:

  • A work-life filled with very happy dogs!
  • Generous employee discount
  • A fun, positive atmosphere
